Sweet and seamless, with captivating minerality giving shape and lift to the chewy peach and nutmeg flavors. Wonderfully harmonious, large-scaled chardonnay, finishing with impressive length and sweetness of fruit and subtle mineral and smoky nuances. This is likely to age the longest of this trio of chardonnays. The selection of the best barrels (two of four were Louis Latour barriques) means that this wine is "beyond terroir," notes Morlet.
